Summary:
It was previously not possible for tools to use solely the stackmap
information emitted to reconstruct the return addresses of callsites in
the map, which is necessary to use the information to walk a stack. This
patch adds per-function callsite counts when emitting the stackmap
section in order to resolve the problem. Note that this slightly alters
the stackmap format, so external tools parsing these maps will need to
be updated.
**Problem Details:**
Records only store their offset from the beginning of the function they
belong to. While these records and the functions are output in program
order, it is not possible to determine where the end of one function's
records are without the callsite count when processing the records to
compute return addresses.

The parser provides a convenient interface for reading llvm stackmap v1 sections
in object files.
This patch also includes a new option for llvm-readobj, '-stackmap', which uses
the parser to pretty-print stackmap sections for debugging/testing purposes.
